I challenge you to use your real name and contact information and publicly accuse with evidence one real person of the activities you claim. If you can't do that then show some moral courage and withdraw your comment with apologies.
I've done work with people who are active in the anti-smoking area. I have never met anyone, nor even heard of anyone who fits the vicious description you've tendered.

In your O.P. you mentioned 7 organizations funding Glantz on this project and that adds up to a lot of loot. By YOUR own post we can see that he is getting rich from all those oganizations who are now or who have in the past supported him with funding.
If the movie industry is guilty of racketeering as a de factor marketing arm of the tobacco industry then tell the FBI and have them arrested, don't come asking me for donations or support for his phoney claims.
Our own government has already stated that many of his claims were falsehoods and he is mostly "pretending" to be some sort medical expert.

If you worked with or are still involved with that project then you should have been upfront about your own "conflict of interest" in making that post and pretending to be objective, hey, if you are or were on their payroll. You are guilty perhaps of "spam" and this post should be rejected by monitors.
If you think anyone can sue me for my opinonated claims bring them on. Because I got the evidence to support it in any court but they will not do that because they cannot lie under oath.
I would not give out my name to anti-smoking zealots any more then to anti-abortions zealots, they might shoot me for expressing my right to speak my mind. We cannot trust zealots of any kind when they get over emotional about stuff.
The movies show all kinds of people smoking, the scum-bags as well as the heros, both the bad guys and the good guys, both the "role models" and also the personalities that are unliked or not cool. It is just a prop and nothing more and as a whole the movie industry is not promoting cigarette smoking one way or the other. Your attack is unfounded on the facts and is a total myth.
No one is making movies about Donald Duck smoking cigarettes for the kids to watch. Teenagers do in real life the same things adults do and that is likewise pitured in movies, if movies want to appear realistic and not as "mentors" or as de factor agents of Stanton A Glantz, then that is their artistic right to do so. So back off.
Stop trying to dominate everyone via censorship or with "bad ratings".
If you don't like my fire then don't come around, cause I'm gonna burn another one down. Last thing we want for entertainment at the movies is a lot of Mormon produced films.
